Re: Project '86
I'm going to have to do mine the same. Where did you get the knuckles?
|
Re: Project '86
They are made by Flaming River. I bought them from a local speed shop, but Summit or Jegs should have everything you need. The hardest part will be counting the splines on the steering column and the gear box. :)

Re: Project '86
Nice!
Let me just say, I really like how you got it on the ground and yet still have a usable bed. Most people just hack out the floor and call it a day. Good job. |
Re: Project '86
My last truck had a big round cover over the notch which pretty much made the bed useless as well.
If any of you guys made it out to the show and stopped by the Why Wear? booth let me know what you thought of the designs. It was my buddies first time out at a show so any feedback would be helpful. |
Re: Project '86
Truck looks great!

Re: Project '86
truck looks sick man. i need to get me a tailgate like that...
|
Re: Project '86
It took a long time to make that tailgate. Don't give it a go unless you have plenty of PATIENCE:crazy:
|
Re: Project '86
i can only imagine. with the custom work you have done your skill and patience really shows. i love how "just a regular person" can walk by your truck and say thats nice but when "we" start looking at it its like "oh my!!" how did he..??! i am taking a summer sheetmetal welding class. its amazing what your doing.

Re: Project '86
I'm glad you like it. While I was at Showdown this weekend I only say one person that noticed the fenders and I don't think anyone ever looked twice at the tailgate. Hours and hours of work and no one even notices:dohh:
But that's the way I like it......... |
Re: Project '86
Looks sick! Do you have any pics of the doors after you painted it? Great job man!
|
Re: Project '86
What are you wanting to see? I can get some pics this evening of whatever you want to see.
|
Re: Project '86
I was wondering how it looked with door panels on it and the finished panel on the fender.
|
Re: Project '86
It has no interior in it at all. In fact it still has a big hole cut in the floor where the tranmission goes. I can put up a shot later though of how the rear of the fender came out.

Re: Project '86
Stuff like this really makes me think twice about getting a 4x4. Kinda makes me want to sell my K5 and buy a swb.

Re: Project '86

Re: Project '86
GAWD!! that's awesome work man... I have a cherry 85 I am gonna start on one of these days as soon as I get the title situation fixed. I love the front fender mod and the gate. the way you did the gate is the same as one of my old trucks was from the factory. have you reinstalled the motor and trans yet? just wondered if you had to cut the cab or anything for clearance.. otherwise, sweet build man. I'll be following
|
Re: Project '86
I haven't put the motor and trans back yet but in anticipation of needing to I cut the floor out above the transmission long ago. I am not sure how far I will actually need to move it up.
